Solstice Senior Living at East Amherst

From my visit, not only do they CARE about their residents, but the food is very good. I ate with my church friend who recently moved into her new apartment, which is huge. We were told we could order whatever we wanted from the menu to sample different things. The food was all very good. The chef visited our table, and he was pleasant and interested in our experience. So happy to see everyone so involved in the program after the meal. The live music was very good and many joined in. What a great experience I had.

I like the way it looked from the time I walked in the door. Love it there, very nice atmosphere. It's pretty pricey monthly just went up to [amount removed] but right now my aunt can do it and she likes it there

I do not drive much but where I have gone it is very friendly. I picked this community because I just like it.

Each time I visit it is apparent that the community cares about the residents placing them first. The community is clean, new renovation bright, endless welcoming and truly friendly. The staff show the utmost respect to the residents, their family & friends. The events are top shelf! Bands like Boys of Summer, Porcelain Dolls, The House Band in Williamsville have all performed to large crowds with standing ovations. This is a place to move into to enjoy LIVING. Activities are fun & vibrant, 7 days a week. The directors , with their staff are there every day , even on weekends! Best decision you can make!

We took one tour and we were already hooked on Solstice. We had no need to go anywhere else. The food is really good. He loves his cheerful bright unit and has made several friends already. The live music and trips planned look like a lot of fun and he’s willing to try them. The housekeeper has been nothing but helpful and the girls at the front desk are always respectful and friendly. He has no need for a cell phone bc he has a landline hooked up. The cable is included. The management is involved in every corner of the operation and assured us from day one that he would love it and he does. Thank you to everyone involved.

Solstice Senior Living at East Amherst is full occupancy for a reason- elders who are extremely happy, inspired and looking for a chapter of fun & friendship. The associates all work well together, help one another and want only the BEST for our residents. The teamwork has been awarded for its #1 satisfaction rates within our company. Our residents and family members are grateful for us, all but we in return know that without them Solstice wouldn't be the positive amazing culture it is. An honor to work for such a committed community for excellence.

I am almost 98 years old, still drive, make friends and enjoy socializing with others. Everything here at Solstice at East Amherst makes me feel safe & comfortable, happy & satisfied. The food is very good, I sit with new friends and there are many choices. I appreciate that housekeeping is once a week as well as the changing of my bedding. I haven't laughed this much in decades! I wish I didn't wait so long to move here because I mean it - I LOVE it.

I have lived here for 3.5 years and enjoy all of the great food choices, activities that involve wellness efforts like walking club, exercise classes and cultural experiences too. The friendly atmosphere and culture is what I needed! Management is always available, leads with confidence tackling concerns and fixes what is promised. The staff is wonderful.

It's very nice, but is not really assisted living, so be sure of what you need when making the decision. We picked this place because she is on a waiting list for Assisted Living. We may need to move her when a unit becomes available there. We moved her into Solstice because there are aides there and we needed to get her into a place where staff was available 24/7 if she needed them.

They are very friendly and helpful. Many go out of their way to talk to you or say hello. The facility is like a country club for older folks! So nice, renovated in many rooms, many activities and special services are available on campus like gym, hair salon, pool table/ bar room, library and lounge. The dining room is beautiful and spacious!

My loved one was a resident at Solstice Senior Living at East Amherst. The staff was really great and the facility was always clean. Everything about our experience and this facility was good. I would recommend this facility to others.

Everything is super nice and the staff very friendly and helpful. My mom adjusted very well and does love it there after living in her house for like 58 years... You get your own privacy also, as much as you want, and many other activities as well. Beautiful place outside in the summer also - very cozy.

Everything at Solstice is all A-1. I only ate there once. Mom and all the residents complain about the food, but I thought it was good. I like that the facility doesn't smell, and people seem happy!

My father in law was here for over a year and it became so intolerable, we were forced to move him. He became physically ill more than once from the food. While kitchen staff and management knew he had issues with chewing, they often served him leather like meat, he would leave the table hungry. His apartment included weekly cleaning, there were times where cleaning staff didn't clean for an entire month and when they did it was never properly cleaned. To be honest...it was filthy. Don't let the pretty entrance fool you...this place is run like a cheap hotel. Management is condescending.....

Meals at Solstice are horrible. My parents lived there for 21/2 years and I saw what was served often. There were no “chef” inspired meals or a “culinary team”. The meals were unappetizing, poorly made and lacking nutrition. What a disappointment for seniors who rely on their meals being served to them. It really makes life miserable to never ever have good meal especially with the cost so high.The wrong meals were served, service was delayed by hours or NO food was served. On several occasions my parents were served a microwaved hotdog, no bun and nothing else. They were served peanut butter sandwiches and told they had no food in the kitchen. Neither of my parents can eat peanut butter. We often brought food to supplement what they were not getting. Simple pleasures like eating should never be denied anyone especially our seniors who need love and care the most. Many requests were made to management seeking a solution. Nothing was ever done.

Maybe not the first thing that comes to mind when looking for Senior Living is food. Seniors deserve to have the benefits of good food for health and to make their lives pleasant. My parents lived at Solstice for 2 1/2 years. I saw their meals almost everyday. The food was consistently horrible in taste, presentation and nutrition. How disappointing it was for them everyday having to pick through their food to find anything edible. We brought food to supplement what was served because the calorie intake was not sufficient. On several occasions they were served a hotdog, no bun, and nothing else. Other times they were given a peanut butter sandwich & told they had run out of food. Several times they had NO meal. All was brought to the attention of management on many occasions to no avail. We were given false hopes that things would get better but they never did. Shame on you for taking away one of life’s simplest pleasures from those that need it most. No concessions were offered.

Solstice Senior Living at Easy Amherst seems to be a good value with a lot of activities. As long as the elderly parents are still fairly independent. I would recommend this facility to others.

My loved one loves it here. She adjusted very well and quickly, and she made friends right away. The apartment is lovely - it's very roomy, especially for an efficiency apartment. She has plenty of room for her own furniture and items. And we're very happy with the all-around situation.

The care services are wonderful. My loved one likes the food, so there is no complaints. They offer a lot of activities, but my loved one has not participated yet. We picked this community, because another family member had been to this community, and also for the price, meals, it was clean, and we knew it would be perfect for my loved one. Everyone is do nice, and happy, and the people seem to enjoy working there.

Our loved one is happy and thriving! We picked this community because it was proximity to my loved ones son, the beauty of the facility and their overall willingness to help.
